Melody Sasser, a 48-year-old woman from Knoxville, Tennessee, was sentenced to 100 months in federal prison for attempting to hire a hitman through the now-defunct Online Killers Market to murder the wife of a man she had previously dated, whom she met on Match.com. Following her prison term, Sasser will undergo three years of supervised release and must pay over $5,389 in restitution to the victim. The plot was uncovered after federal authorities received a tip from a foreign law enforcement agency, leading to an investigation that revealed Sasser's detailed plans, which included paying nearly $10,000 in cryptocurrency. Court documents indicated Sasser sought to make the murder appear random to avoid investigation. The scheme ultimately failed when the alleged hitmen reported her to law enforcement instead of carrying out the murder. Sasser's actions highlight the dangers of dark web marketplaces and their potential for facilitating serious crime.
